BCIC urges regulator to promote EV technology in Bengaluru

“If there are more charging points established at convenient junctions, people would be encouraged to use more Green Technology Electric Vehicles in the State," said the BCIC president.

Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC) president Kishore Alva met Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) chairman M.K.Shankaralinge Gowda and suggested that the State Government promote more Electric Vehicle technology in the State, especially in Bengaluru so that environment can be secured for future generations.

“If there are more charging points established at convenient junctions, people would be encouraged to use more Green Technology Electric Vehicles in the State, thereby reducing pollution levels drastically,” said Alva, who is also the Joint President and Executive Director, Adani - Udupi Power Corporation.

Alva also suggested that lake beds should be extensively used for afforestation purposes thereby increasing the depleting green cover in the State. He suggested: “Hebbal Lake in Bangalore could be taken up on a priority basis, as this could be showcased to domestic and foreign visitors when they come from the airport into the city.”
